CNET: Twitter says it’s making progress battling abusive behavior

CNET: Twitter says it’s making progress battling abusive behavior. “After years of struggling to manage abusive tweets, Twitter says it’s made some short-term progress tackling the problem. The social network said Thursday it’s been clamping down on 10 times as many abusive tweeters as it did a year ago, though it declined to say how many accounts it’s disciplined. The efforts do appear to be making the community more hospitable: Twitter said it’s seeing fewer repeat offenders and fewer users tapping features to shut off abusive tweeters, such as blocking their accounts.” Really do not recommend the comments on this one.

The ResearchBuzz Firehose is regular RB content divvied up into individual posts, with a bit more commentary than the regular RB. There will also be additional resources that I think are too narrowly-focused or just not on for ResearchBuzz.
